USA Today updated a story tying the Trump campaign to a Nazi symbol of an eagle when critics condemned the paper, pointing out that eagles are prominent in America emblems, too.

Last weekend, the paper published a “fact-check” claiming “Trump's campaign website recently unveiled a T-shirt that has come under fire because of design similarities between its logo and a Nazi symbol” and coming to the conclusion that the claims are “true.”

The eagle that symbolizes Germany is called `der Steinadler’ and is dark grey all over. The bird is often found perching on rocky Alpine peaks, hence the name.

Not like the American bald eagle but still a national emblem.

Someone missed the obvious. Nazi shirts had holes for 2 arms. Trump shirts have holes for 2 arms. So obvious.

After this election, Trump wins again, the MSM must be eliminated, erased, canceled, gone.

I certainly support Freedom of Speech and the Press, but not without consequences for its lies and reckless disregard for the truth. Todays media has made itself into the “enemy within” and if intelligent reason fails — it has and will, they must be treated like “the real and present danger” that they have proven to be.
